Removal options from flash drive

There are two main ways to remove protection from a flash drive: software and hardware. The latter method involves switching the block, which is present in some flash drives and SD cards. This switch is usually located on the side of the device.

Carefully inspect your drive, find the open / closed lock icon on it or the lark inscription. To remove protection, it is enough to move the lever in the opposite direction, and write protection will be removed. Now simply install the flash drive into the connector, and repeat the file entry operation.
